M106: About 23.7 million light years distant, apparent magnitude 9.1. This spiral emits x-rays and unusual emission lines, so it is categorised as a Seyfert II galaxy. This unusual behaviour is due to matter spiralling into a super massive black hole in the center of the galaxy. M106 is the closest example of a Seyfert galaxy.

NGC 4217: This edge on spiral galaxy is thought to be a satellite galaxy to M106. Apparent magnitude 11.3
